PSG ready to spend €115m on Morgan Rogers to beat Arsenal to the punch

Paris Saint-Germain is interested in Morgan Rogers, Aston Villa’s attacking midfielder, and would be willing to make an offer around €115 million for the summer 2026 transfer window, according to The Sun and The Telegraph. Such an investment would be the biggest spending by the Parisian club since the acquisition of Randal Kolo Muani from Eintracht Frankfurt for €95 million in September 2023.

At 22 years old, Rogers was signed by Aston Villa in February 2024 from Middlesbrough for just €9.4 million. Trained at West Brom and having come through Manchester City’s youth academy, he has since flourished under Unai Emery’s management, compiling 14 goals and 12 assists in 55 matches this season across all competitions. These performances earned him a call-up to the England national team, and he is expected to participate in the 2026 World Cup.

It is this profile — offensive power, versatility and international standing — that is believed to have caught the eye of Luis Campos, PSG’s sporting adviser. The capital club remains cautious on the financial front: its most recent major transfer is that of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, bought from Napoli for €75 million in January 2025. Breaking the €100 million barrier would therefore send a strong signal to the market.

Competition promises to be fierce, however. Arsenal is among the most serious contenders, and several Premier League heavyweights — Manchester United and Chelsea in particular — are also monitoring the situation. Aston Villa holds a strong position: Rogers is tied to the club until June 2031, which allows the Villans to set their price without pressure.

PSG will therefore have to decide quickly between sporting ambition and the budgetary discipline it has imposed on itself in recent seasons, in a matter where the slightest hesitation could benefit Arsenal.
